The 7 Best Beauty Trends You Should Absolutely Try At Home

As much as we may not want to believe it, fall is quickly approaching. Pretty soon, it’ll be time to hang up our swimsuits and flip-flops and trade them in for cozy sweaters and pumpkin-flavored treats. Of course, fall is also the season our beauty looks transition to a darker palette. Thankfully, we have the hottest beauty trends from the fall/winter 2024 runway circuit to inspire autumnal energy.

It’s never too soon to start thinking about incorporating the upcoming season’s hottest trends into your current aesthetic—moody coquette core, anyone? With all the effortlessly chic looks that radiated throughout the fall/winter runways, you’ll want to be ahead of the game. As you begin layering your jackets and coats, make sure to layer on some hydrating skincare to get the dewy look models donned at Proenza Schouler. Or break up some of the muted fall tones by adding golden flecks to your hairdo or a beaming bronze highlighter to your makeup look à la Christian Siriano.

To make the transition from summer a bit easier, we rounded up seven fresh-from-backstage fall beauty trends that will take over the season. Scroll through to see some of our favorites.

Golden Girl

Though last season found Christian Siriano twirling through the land of balletcore, the designer took a sharp turn into Dune territory for his most recent show—and he had the most shimmering parts to show for it. At the Christian Siriano fall/winter 2024 presentation, models traipsed down the runway in Dune-inspired “celestial space buns” from Tresemmé partner and celebrity stylist Lacy Redway. The boxy buns rested beneath deep center parts, which Redway embedded with bits of reflective gold leaf. She also dusted the top of the buns with the glimmering accents, using Tresemmé Mega Control Grip to keep the decorations in place. PS: While gold leaf looks ever-so-luxe, you can actually score it on Amazon for about $6.

Hair Tattoos

At Collina Strada’s fall/winter 2024 show, Bumble and Bumble artistic ambassador Evanie Frausto created ethereal hair tattoos. Inspired by the presentation’s metal band theme, Frausto gave models slicked-back, tight-to-the-head shine using Bumble and Bumble’s Bb.gel, Holding Spray, and Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil. Next, he applied star and fairy wing tattoos—made of colored strips of hair—to the sides of the head. The tattoos may be a bit tough to replicate at home, but the lacquered-down hair can be achieved without a trip to the salon. Start by creating a clean middle part, then shellac your hair within an inch of its life, working the gel in section by section.

Gilded Glam

Glazed-donut skin has evolved into a gilded, glowy sheen that will pop up on eyelids, cheeks, and even foreheads this fall. At Christian Siriano’s fall/winter 2024 show, Charlotte Tilbury’s pro artistry team played up the metallic fashion with a dipped-in-gold beauty look. They swathed eyelids in gold and dusted models’ faces with champagne-hued shimmer. To get the look at home, try the Charlotte Tilbury Beauty Highlighter Wand in—what else?—Goldgasm.

Gold also made its way onto fingertips. At Tiffany Brown’s fall/winter 2024 show, Tara Haye of Nailing Hollywood created micro-French manicures, gilding the nail tips with Dazzle Dry’s 14-karat metallic gold Lunar Love.

Soft-Focus Skin

At PatBo, makeup artist Charlie Riddle partnered with Stila Cosmetics to create smoky eyes with dark plum shadows and inky wings. He juxtaposed the smoke show on the eyes with a soft-focus look on the skin. Cheeks received the dewiest treatment from Stila’s Blush & Bronze Hydro Glow Cheek Duo in Apricot & Golden, which makeup artists dotted on with their fingers backstage. Meanwhile, lips had the faintest hint of shimmering pink.

Doll Nails

Backstage at Marc Jacobs’ fall/winter 24 show, nail artist Jin Soon took to Instagram to share a close-up look at the “doll-like” manicures that graced the runways. After filing the models’ nails into a short, rounded shape, she gave them shellac manicures using CND’s glossy opaque hues: Bare Chemise, Satin Pajamas, and Field Fox. Over at Helmut Lang, Choi kept nails sheer and glossy, sending models down the runway with glazed manicures.

Bare Minimalism

Minimalistic makeup was the look du jour at several shows, and clean, glowing skin was the canvas in demand. At Proenza Schouler, hair was easy and undone, and makeup had a low-key feel. Proper skincare was a priority backstage, where models prepped their skin with a two-step regimen from Kate Somerville. First, the Delikate Recovery Serum calmed the complexion; aestheticians topped it off with facial massage using the Delikate Recovery Cream. Et voila: Clean skin was ready for the runway.

Airbrushed Lips

But hold on, it wasn’t all minimalism. At Kim Shui, makeup artist Romero Jennings went romantic and moody, channeling maximalist ‘90s glam. After dusting models’ lids with MAC’s Dazzleshadow Liquid in Diamond Crumbles, he went in for a glossy lip with an airbrushed effect. MAC’s Lip Pencil in the black-plum Nightmoth shade lined models’ pouts, which he then filled in with Silky Matte Lipstick and topped off with clear Lipglass.
